Gout shouldn’t keep you from enjoying food. Choose low purine foods, like in these two recipes, to have a tasty meal without causing flare ups or gout attacks.

Along with conventional and natural medical treatments, some gout
diet recipes can play a key role in relieving pain. Certain
medicinal foods, when consumed in time, may reduce and prevent
future attacks. Always check with your health practitioner before
using gout diet foods to treat serious health conditions.

Blood Orange and Duck Confit Salad

Here’s an extra-special salad that will satisfy your craving for
meat without aggravating your gout. Duck is one of the best meat
options, and oranges are full of vitamin C, which research suggests
could reduce uric acid levels.

Preheat oven to 425°. Place 6 lemon slices and sage leaves under
skin of chicken. Put remaining lemon into cavity. Tie legs together
with twine, and tuck wings under. Brush 1 teaspoon oil over
chicken. Place chicken in roasting pan; roast in lower third of
oven for 1 hour 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer
registers 165°. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let rest for
15 minutes.

Cut root vegetables into matchsticks. Toss with potatoes in a
baking pan with remaining oil and thyme. Roast stirring
occasionally for 45 minutes or until tender. Remove skin from
chicken. Discard lemons from cavity. Slice enough chicken to serve
4 (such as breasts), and serve with half of vegetables.
